I started to like it and then it just didn't resonate with me anymore. Life is too short...onward and upward. DNF....more

The premise: Before the heroine goes to college she wants to lose her virginity so that she has some "experience" enter, the later 'Hero' and her brother's friend. THERE IS SO MANY THINGS wrong with this! I just can't. BYE!...more

Jax Teller from the Sons of Anarchy show - was even bordering it for me with some of his antics but he made up for it constantly and so I got past it. But Reaper has just started to go down this path that I do not like and I've started skimming over the pages...to me, I'd rather quit while I am ahead as I got so many other books that I want to read and life is short! DNFed at page 150.
I read a view reviews to also see that there are things to come past the part where I am already getting annoyed with so it doesn't get any better and I've just decided to put this book as my first DNF well...ever. Sad!...more

Everyone raved about this book and it is not a bad book. I listened to it on audio and that too was not bad, the narration was great! I was just...bored. I promised myself that if I am bored, if I find myself desiring to read and/or listen to other books and I am just going through the motions that I would give up on it as life is too short!
Eames has created an amazing world and has obviously put A LOT of thought into it. I am an avid fantasy reader but this just wasn't jiving with me at all. Again, still feel odd that I am DNFing but...alas at around the halfway point of 17 hours of audio, I am calling it quits. Sorry!...more
